De Bruyne becomes the next player to have a statue erected at the Etihad. |
"A very humane and solemn act from the Etihad team for one of the greatest legends in the team's history," wrote the Daily Mail .
De Bruyne becomes the next name to have a statue erected outside the Etihad, following legends including Vincent Kompany, David Silva, Sergio Aguero, and famous players of the previous generation such as Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee.
The Belgian midfielder won 14 titles with Man City, including 6 Premier League titles and a Champions League. Not only contributing significantly to the success on the pitch, De Bruyne is also a symbol of dedication, perseverance and class of a true conductor.
Speaking about Man City's parting with De Bruyne, coach Pep Guardiola emotionally admitted: "Today is a sad day. Kevin is a special person. He goes beyond the framework of pure football."
De Bruyne will not renew his contract when his current deal expires at the end of June. Part of the reason is that Man City did not actively propose an extension. Although there is no confirmation of his next destination, many sources say that teams in Saudi Arabia and the US are actively pursuing him.
It is unclear whether De Bruyne will be able to play in the FIFA Club World Cup. However, Guardiola said he and his team will cherish every moment they have with the Belgian maestro: "We will enjoy the last months together, but emotionally it will be very difficult."
